According to coach Li, Pilates was founded and popularized by German Joseph Pilates. Westerners have always paid more attention to the training of physical muscle ability, such as running and skiing. Orientals pay more attention to breathing and spirit, such as yoga and Tai Chi. At first, in order to overcome physical illness and restore health, Joseph Pilates combined different sports concepts of the East and the West to create an exercise method, which integrated the advantages of the flexibility of the East and the strength of the West and was recognized by many people. It was originally used for physical rehabilitation of athletes and patients, and then gradually developed into a fitness exercise. In the past two years, Pilates has also sprung up in China. What kind of sport is Pilates? Pilates is a kind of deep muscle exercise, which controls muscles for a long time through some slow movements to achieve the purpose of consuming energy in all parts of the body. The most unique feature of Pilates is that it focuses on the spiritual level, allowing practitioners to face their inner world through breathing and mental control. In practice, you can also use dumbbells, gymnastics sticks and other fitness equipment to exercise. Who should practice Pilates Pilates has always been a basic training method for some dancers and gymnasts to shape their bodies and enhance or restore their strength. But it is also suitable for us ordinary people. Pilates practice is not limited by age or sex, and anyone can practice it, especially office workers with low back and leg pain, lack of exercise, long-term contact with computers and working from nine to five. The sports effect of Pilates Li introduced that Pilates exercises muscles through graceful, slow and simple large-scale movements, making the body more slender, flexible, soft and bodybuilding; The combination of static and dynamic movements makes the body nervous and relaxed, thus strengthening the function of body organs and enhancing the flexibility and coordination of the body; Because the core part of Pilates is the middle part of the body, many people now have more abdominal fat, and they can also lose weight through Pilates. It is worth mentioning that Pilates exercise is relatively peaceful, and it will hardly cause damage to joints and muscles. Precautions in practice Pilates fitness exercise is not limited by space, and can be practiced in small places. However, due to the slow movement, muscle control, breathing coordination, and changes in body feeling, seemingly simple things are difficult to do and need the guidance of regular coaches. Pilates can be done three times a week or once a day according to your physical feelings, and each exercise can last between 45 minutes and an hour. Because Pilates is not a heart-lung exercise, there is no strict time limit.
